Will you be reporting just for fun, or calling INT's just for fun?I think I'm scheduled to call 10 this weekend, will report back if I have any INT's just for fun.
In a competitive game, it's my expectation that an umpire will call what he or she sees to the best of their ability, with fair application of the rules without any concern about how a specific call might impact the game's outcome. If you see INT, please call it instead of waiting to see what happens with F6's throw attempt.
MTR, am I out of line here?
Never figured you for someone who would have a problem with understanding the written word. Momo'sDad's post is about his inability to understand how NCAA rules handle INT. It's not about using the DDB instead of how it's now done. I don't recall wanting to change 80iyrs of ASA rules. Although longevity doesn't always equal perfection IMO. Once again, so you don't have to go back and read, I merely was pointing out the inconsistencies is the rule.Cannot agree more, but his point is that he thinks it should be changed. It has only been that way for 80+ years, so it must need to be changed by now because obviously doesn't work

MTR - Since you didn't go back, here's what I said. Play close attention beginning with the word "particularly ". I never meant to suggest that ASA change the way they call INT. The inconsistency lies in the way the NCAA handles leaving early compared to INT. Got it now?Here's one more: Why is a delayed dead ball signaled for obstruction and a dead ball signaled for interference? Particularly in college since leaving early is DDB to allow the defense the possibility to turn a double play. Why not give them the same opportunity if interfered with?
